Join us for a look back at 11 prolific women authors (some well known - some not) who persevered through social pressure to be good mothers and wives and nothing more. They were determined, persistent, published and dared to be different. We will see their homes and their association with the November Club and Abbot Academy. Authors include: Bessie Goldsmith, Abbott Academy's McKeen sisters, Alice French (Octave Thanet), Mary Hooker Cornelius, Alice Buck, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Anne Bradstreet, Annie Sawyer Downs, and Charlotte Helen Abbott.
